**Good morning, I’m in a vcenter using powershell commands for Linux machines, I’m trying to rename or change (Name for CPU and NumCpu for CPUs) but it doesn’t work out, I hope you can help me.**

**The command used is this:**  
PS /home/alex\> Get-vm | Where-object {$_.Notes -like “103107”} | Select-Object **Name** , PowerState, @{N=“DnsName”; E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.Hostname}}, **NumCpu** , MemoryGB

I want to change the bone red ones to rename them.

But when it comes to Linux why don’t you use ansible modules for VMware . They are so way have more modules
